"Enlightenment"

 

 

 

A candle flickering
A starlit sky glimmering
A streetlight shining
A baby giggling...

 

 

 

A sunrise bursting
A kitten purring
A waterfall shimmering
A bird a'twittering...

 

 

 

A Christmas tree sparkling
A flower bud opening
A luminous cloud floating
A sunset brightly glowing

 

 

 

On our life's pathway of hurdles & strife
We should pause along the way
To be thankful for all our gifts
Each and everyday

 

 

 

This season as we celebrate Jesus' birth...
Is a time for our own souls' rebirth
To remind ourselves to be thoughtful & kind
To help spread light throughout the earth
